I believe it was Holland who gave the talk centered around the first and great commandment, that thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and blabbety blabbety blah... He said that when we reach the judgment bar of God that he thinks we will all be asked the same question that Jesus asked his disciples after they abandoned their calling to go fishing. "Do you love me?"
The whole time I kept thinking "what kind of sick bastard would create a world full of pain and suffering, and yet is primarily only interested in whether or not his creations love him?" ...and then consign them to an eternal fate based primarily on that level of love of HIM...
I think most TBMs thought it was a powerful, moving, profound and heartfelt talk. I only heard "love God or he's gonna kick your ass."
